Bunyon becomes Westford AD

Tuesday

Jeff Bunyon took over duties as Westford Academy Athletic Director in the beginning of August, replacing Adam Gagne.

Gagne, named the school’s athletic director in July of 2017, took a position as assistant principal at Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High in Haverhill.

Gagne, a Haverhill native, was also head football coach at Westford from 2013-16.

Bunyon, former collegiate hockey player at Plattsburgh State in New York and a professional in Sweden, was hired at Westford as a physical education and well teacher in 2010 and coached freshman football. He moved to Westford in 1991.

“I’ve been involved with athletics my whole life,” Bunyon said, adding that he had been in sales for 20 years prior to his move to the high school. “There comes a time when you try to make a new chapter in life. This was a natural fit for me.”

Bunyon also referees college hockey, including NCAA tournaments and the Bean Pot.
